There is no real solution for an overgrind. In some - rare - cases you may thin along the edge to level with the overground section, but that will radically change the blade's geometry and cause wedging.

As I said, if you are confident that you can inspect the Moritaka you are going to buy and make certain that it is a good one, then go for the Moritaka. Otherwise, look elsewhere. If the plastic ferrule bothers you, have you considered another line? JCK carries the Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan line of knives, shirogami clad in stainless. From what has been reported, the thinner version is a pretty decent knife. http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/sh...-Ka-Zan-of-JCK
